Prospective Phoenix Coyotes buyer Greg Jamison talked with free agent team captain Shane Doan on Saturday about potential progress being made in effort to buy the hockey team and keep it in Glendale.

Neither side on Monday would talk specifics of the meeting, which originally was scheduled for Friday.

But that silence on the matter confirms that Jamison is still trying to get together the money and financing to buy the Coyotes from the National Hockey League. Doan has been pressing Jamison to confirm he’s going to actually buy the Coyotes, otherwise the Canadian forward will sign with another team.

It also shows that Jamison’s effort isn’t dead, and Doan isn’t quite ready to close the book on re-signing with the Coyotes.

A number of teams on both coasts and in both conferences are pursuing Doan and want to sign him as a free agent.

Doan, 35, has been with the Coyotes since they moved to Phoenix from Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1996.

The Saturday meeting shows Jamison’s bid and Doan’s potential exit are in holding patterns for a while longer as the three-year-long Coyotes ownership saga drags on.
